{"product_id":"live-online-chess-jose-fadul-9781300228240","title":"Live Online Chess: Social Features \u0026 Downsides","description":"The book features social network analysis of the author's live rated online chess games with various players (including high and middle-strength computer software) from different time zones and cultures around the world. For most of them the social features and downsides of real-time online chess were investigated and documented, including social magnetism, gambling, anonymity and use of pseudonyms, nationalism, Lesbian-Gay-Bisexual-Transgender (LGBT) issues, Islamophobia, and social stratification and mobility. The accompanying game annotations and post-game discussions mainly dwell on responsible participation and civil discourse using live online chess games as medium. Online chess has become a test case for us as an international\/trans-national group to think about how we can live in a socially-differentiated society, where its members subscribe to a plurality of forms of knowledge arising from considerably different environments, experiences and genetic makeup.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jose Fadul\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1300228245\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781300228240\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Lulu.com\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/26\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 140\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.03lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.00h x 8.50w x 0.36d","brand":"Jose Fadul","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48484850532607,"sku":"9781300228240","price":65.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_74b4ca44-ceae-4e87-ad58-60d173893ddc.jpg?v=1778046297","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/live-online-chess-jose-fadul-9781300228240","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
